The event is further commemorated in Broadgate by a puppet clock which dates from Coventry's post-war reconstruction.
In this later photograph, Preston's war memorial now occupies the open space in front of the Post Office.
Shops and a post office overlook the junction in the centre of the village by the railway station.
Over the years it has lost one chimneystack.
The biggest change is that the shop is now twice as big: it includes the post office, and takes up the whole of the downstairs of the semi-detached house.
Inside is a very fine roof with carved angels at the feet of the principal rafters, and at the wall post is a small, carved figure, possibly an apostle.
Beyond the green there is a row of post-enclosure brick cottages.
Adjoining the post office is Enjoyable Cottage; then comes the roof of the Primary School, and Russell Villas of 1885.
On the near right is Tenby Cottage, next to the old post

The Kings Arms Hotel (right), built in 1750, was a stop for the changing of horses and the collection of post on the London to Bristol route.
This mid 18th-century post mill has 'I Swan 1749', 'W Bedwell' and 'John Swan 1754' carved on the beams.
This building, along with Nos 42 and 43, were demolished, and a modern post office was opened on 10 June 1959 by Sir David Eccles, MP for Chippenham.
The White Bull pub (right) is still in existence, but many of the other buildings have gone, and so have the telegraph posts and school sign (left).
